I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FTI Consulting
Interview
I was contacted by three different recruiters from this firm. The first asked me to provide dates and times for interviews which I did. But they never got back with me. Then she said “oops I forgot can you send more dates and times?? I went thru 2 or 3 rounds of this with no interview being scheduled. Then another recruiter reached out to me and asked me to select a time on his calendar. The next available slot was over a week out but I reserved it. An hour before the meeting he cancels and asks me to select another time. I go thru 2 more rounds of this with him. He then calls me at home (not my cell) the day before Christmas to see if I had time to talk. He was on a cell with bad reception and said he would call back. Never did.
Apparently this is some kind of game these people play. Don’t waste your time applying

Typcially 4-5 rounds of interviews - early interview with recruiter, then with a few peers/team members, written exercise then 1-2 informal conversations with partner-level team leads for the final rounds.
fully ghosted, never responded to any emails after. interview was very standard though, no surprises. why you wanna work here, what is your research experience, whats your goals, how do you deal with conflict
Four stages, great people to interact with and passionate about the work they do. First stage is a screening call with a recruiter, second stage is a call with one of the team to talk about your experiences, third stage is a further discussion about experiences focused on technical and fourth stage is meeting the partners (SMDs)
